Erynn Marshall & Carl Jones in Ireland, 16-25 Feb. 2015?

Thanks to Bill Whelan, doyen of old-time music and (especially) clawhammer banjo in Ireland, for the news that the old-time duo Erynn Marshall & Carl Jones (above) are considering coming over to Ireland in the latter half of next month (16-25 February).

They will have been over this side of the Atlantic since late January, as part of the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow and then, after a few shows in Britain, as stars of FOAOTMAD's annual old-time festival in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire (13-15 Feb.). Plenty of their music can be heard on YouTube: for a sample, here they are in the old-time fiddle competition at Galax, VA. Anyone who can offer them a booking should contact them by e-mail.
